It feels like in large parts #ATP is congruent with what the fediverse has to offer, but is different for the sake of being different. I also think that it’s hard to judge a protocol without a real world application. There are some design choices in #ATP that make me feel like they might be awkward to implement in practice.

@Gargron it would be awesome if you could implement post migration to remove the biggest concern that people have of activitypub

@Gargron someone on HN pointed out Solid from Tim Berner Lee, and I see a better chance for interoperability there because it uses ActivityStreams as an foundational ontology. I remember hearing about it when it launched, but they seem to have made good progress (at least documentation wise).

I can't help but feel cynical about the incentives here. If your team receives $13M in funding, are you going to assess existing ecosystems and conclude that other people are already doing adequate work and there's not much for you to do there? #Bluesky #ATP

Jan Boddez

@Gargron You spend it all on consultants who do that research for you, then decide to go with the existing solution

@jan @Gargron bonus points if the "consultants" are friends or family members right?

Colin Devroe

@Gargron Are there parts of #ATP that _you_ think merit adding to ActivityPub?

@Gargron They assessed, but probably they panicked since they saw that all they wanted to invent already exists in a very congruent way?

@Gargron I'd say literature reviews / evaluating existing solutions on Bluesky's vision is still something they can spend the budget on

@Eugen 💀 Of course not. If what you're doing is funded by venture capital, you create a proprietary, closed-source, commercial solution and try your best to extinguish the #FLOSS competition.

@Gargron Now #Twitter wants to "copy" content warnings (self "ratings"). They could just spend 13 M€ on a migration plan from their current codebase to #Mastodon and be done with it. :)
